George Lucas - Director
Permalink Closed

Ok so here's someone else who nearly amd eht einagural list but didn't.

George Lucas with more than just Star Wars to his name.  He should probably get in on Star Wars alone but then you have to consider his other films, THX 1138 (Which spawned a soundsystem) and more importantly American Graffitti.  AG was rites of passage movie that defined a generation before SW and gave us Ron Howard to the big screen from Happy Days and also a little known carpenter called Harrison Ford.

He also produced the Indiana Jones movies and created ILM (Industrial Lights and Magic).  These all outweigh the downside to his CV including Willow (Which I actually liked) and Howard the Duck.

Feel free to agree or disagree but I think George Deserves his place.

I've never been much of a Star Wars-type, so I don't know the true genuis of Lucas. But he has also had a hand in making other great movies. I don't think so with him...

Er...you do know that negativity towards Star Wars is a bannable offence on these forums... wink.gif

Sorry MiB...I was just giving my opinion. I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies, so I can't comment on Lucas really.

Dude it was a joke (hence the winking smiley)...

Although I can't believe you've not seen the Star Wars films. They're essential viewing.

I knew it was a joke (?). I just wanted to see if you knew that I knew it was a joke. Follow??

You know, Star Wars has never really been my style. I like Sci Fi, but I'm more into stuff like Lord of the Rings and comic book movies (X-Men).

For some reason, I've also never been much of a Trekkie. I also haven't been able to get into the show Heros, which is a big fave here in the States.

So it's kinda hit or miss for me with sci fi.

Heroes is big over here but they keep focusing on the cheerleader girl rather than the show itself.

I grew up with Star Wars so it's difficult for me to understand who anyone could have not seen them over the past 30 years, but I've sort of wavered from Sci-Fi a little over the years. My dad on the other hand is a huge sci-fi fan and a huge Trekkie too. He's got Sci-fi stuff going way back that most of us here have probably never heard of. smile.gif

Yeah. Like I said, Sci-fi is hit or miss for me. I fell in love with the Harry Potter series, but not until they made the movies and I saw the first one. Now, I'd have to say that it ranks only behind Lord of the Rings on my Sci-fi list.

Another movie that I really like is Pan's Labyrinth. Has anyone seen this movie? I'm surprised that it didn't really hit mainstream. It's a solid flick.

Well, in my opinion you NEED to see the Star Wars films. The original trilogy is must see, the second trilogy is a bit hit and miss.

Will do. In fact, I just saw a thing on Amazon.com where I can get all 6 for like 35 bucks. That seems like a decent enough deal...

By the way, do you recommend that I watch them in the order they were made (IV, V, VI, I, II, III), or in numerical order? I've always wondered about that...

A good question.

To be honest because I've only watched them in the release order, they make more sense that way to me. The "originals" actually ask more questions for the prequels to answer rather than the other way around. Plus, the different in the SFX quality between the first trilogy and the second is noticeable despite the touch ups to the older films.

I'd say watch them in release order : IV, V, VI then I, II, III.

OK, that makes sense. I guess they wouldn't have made it that way if it wasn't intended that way...
